According to a security source, the assault resulted in the loss of several dozen lives. Shockingly, all the victims were Muslims, predominantly men who had gathered for their morning prayers. The merciless act has left the community in mourning and raised concerns about the escalating violence in the region.
Community in Grief as Mosque Targeted
A local resident, reflecting on the horrifying event, emphasized that the victims were exclusively Muslim worshippers attending the mosque for their morning prayers. The targeted nature of the attack adds another layer of distress to an already grieving community.

Tragically, the mosque attack wasn’t the only act of violence on that fateful Sunday.

As authorities investigate these heinous acts, Burkina Faso faces a challenging period marked by grief, fear, and a pressing need for measures to ensure the safety and security of its citizens.
